US President Warns Uganda over Anti-Gay Bill

.
.
President Barack Obama has warned Uganda's President Yoweri Musuveni that
enacting an anti-gay law will complicate relations with the US.
.
Under the proposed legislation, those convicted of homosexual acts could
face life imprisonment.
.
The law would also make it a crime not to report gay people.
.
Promotion of homosexuality - even talking about it without condemning it -
would also be punishable by a prison sentence.
.
The private member's bill originally proposed the death penalty for some
offences, such as if a minor was involved or the perpetrator was
HIV-positive, but that clause has been dropped.
.
Uganda already has legislation banning gay sex between men, but the
proposed law sharply tightens restrictions - and covers lesbians for the
first time.
.
Aid link
.
The US is one of Uganda's largest foreign aid donors, and in 2011 a small
number of American troops were sent to help the Ugandan military fight the
rebel Lord's Resistance Army.
.
But President Obama, who once referred to the proposed law as "odious",
says this relationship will become more complicated if it is approved,
describing it as an affront, and a danger to, Uganda's gay community.
.
America's National Security Adviser, Susan Rice, said on Twitter that she
spoke at length with the Ugandan President Museveni on Saturday night to
urge him not to sign the bill.
.
President Obama's statement didn't limit criticism to Uganda, noting an
increase in reports of violence and harassment of homosexuals from Russia
to Nigeria.
